As we all know, Android 13 has been released by Google with several new features. Newest reports are that in the new version, apps will be able to preserve batteries.
Google is reportedly doing some major changes to the Android 13 OS in order to enhance the user experience by improving the battery life of the devices that will operate on Android 13.
Android 13 To Help Save Battery; Here’s How It Works
As per reports, there is going to be a new developer resource titled “Battery Resource Utilization.” There are several battery preserving measures on the OS, which include updated rules on when the system switches your app to the “restricted” App Standby Bucket.
There will also be new limitations on the work that your app can perform while the user switches your app to the “restricted” state for background battery usage.
Additionally, there will be new system notifications that will warn users about excessive battery usage and services that are running long in the foreground.
With the help of Andoird 13, several aspects of an app’s background behavior will be monitored. Also, it will also restrict an app from depleting your phone’s battery in the background if you havent operated it for 8 days.
Foreground Elements To Be Checked By The System
Foreground elements, like foreground services will also be checked by the system. These services are those that will perform operations that are required to be noticeable to the users.
There will also be a notificiation that cant be dismissed until the service is stopped or removed from the foreground.
For example, there are fitness tracking apps that behave as there are “in a workout.” Data is being actively collected or a multimedia player that also plays with a foreground service and shows things such as the current song and the control options in the notification.
Android 13 update is available for download on Google Pixel 4 and later models, and will be called Tiramisu, as already seen in the settings. s per the software company, Android 13 will keep its main focus again on privacy and security along with productivity.
Among the new features, Android 13 will come with a system photo picker.
